One of those photos that says so much more than you can imagine.
This is our Exercise Physiologist Ashy and all round hero and hilarious gentleman Sam. If you are lucky enough to know Sam, maybe you’ve had a beer with him or had a little chat; then you’re a better person for it.
Ashy started on our reception as a hard working student, she graduated her Exercise Physiology degree a couple of years later and has an avid following of women and men that strive to move as well as she does. They love her classes and get to benefit from her knowledge every day. Sam is one of those people that has been with Ashy for quite a while now- watching these two in action is awesome. Beyond awesome.
They work hard; they banter, they laugh heaps and they light up Coogee Beach when they do what they do.

Yet another late o clock #pressingdreams post. I just keep on forgetting to take the pictures!
I’m not sure I did this one right because I never ever practice it. To be honest I’m not sure I’ve ever really seen it outside of Instagram. But hey ho- multiple press options is never a bad thing in my books. Hate jumping, press everything 😏🤔
NIGHT WORLD 🌎

This is Sam.
He's one of those guys that rocks up, listens, moves well and always wants to improve.
He's one of those people that always greets you with a smile and a hello, performs and leaves the same way he walked in.
He almost does things too well and consistently.
Because we take a step back We realise he has been with us on and off for almost 2 years. He has rehabbed injuries, worked hard for sport specific outcomes, he even had a Bub whilst at the Hub (well not at the Hub but you know what we mean). Sam, thanks for being an all time legend/student/client/ fam member and for making our job easy, fun and rewarding.

Jump to tuck handstand to straddle. Learnt this in group class today. Initially did with partner, but later got the confidence to do myself which I managed to replicate a few times. The changing of shapes is to force you to really engage and control your movements and balance. P.S. I’m close to the wall for safety, but I did not touch the wall at all.

“MOVEMENT UNLOCKED” - @paul_b2r
The health benefits of conditioning seem to be much more in the process of pursuit rather than actually ‘being able to do something’. Being a high level performer or being able to do ‘the splits’ or a ‘chin up’ doesn’t seem nearly as important as what it takes to get there.
When you do get there, it’s important we have the mindset of ‘what next’ - we have to keep asking our body to respond and evolve and because of this....gymnastic strength training is never ending, so we must learn to immerse in the process and enjoy it.
@may_b2r has a superb forward fold and unlocked a head toe touch today for the first time - Awesome!
What we are even more interested in is loading and strength through that range - passive range we can’t use is not protective of joints - here’s May showing one way we can load up a single leg forward fold - notice the leg shake - really tough to be strong in these positions.
Awesome stuff coach @may_b2r

Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
Feeling my confidence and strength grow playing on the new equipment @PureGym #Northampton 🐒🤸🏼‍♂️

"Yoga is a physical discipline with a spiritual intention. The power of the postures lies not in their masterful execution but in the journey on which each asana takes you. Each pose has a lesson to teach, and that lesson has very little to do with the flexibility of your hips or the power of your lift. Instead, the spiritual lesson of each asana is always about being kind and generous in spirit." - Kino MacGregor, The Yogi Assignment

Because I’ve had to take time off of classes due to a health condition, I started on the #gymnasticbodies flexibility series. As an already pretty bendy person I thought it would be pretty easy but these videos are no joke! I’m especially liking the thoracic spine exercises because I’m all screwed up from being a desk worker for so many years!

"❗️INVESTING IN YOURSELF WILL NEVER BE A WASTE OF TIME ❗️
*

Time and energy is very precious to me. I choose to invest in events and decisions that will make me happy. Before my journey of discovering myself and investing in me, I was so unhappy with how I felt about myself even though I gave everything to other people. And that was the whole point. It’s easy to give your time and energy into other things around us but what is then left for us? It’s good to do things for others if that’s what brings us joy but also being invested in our own well-being is just as important. I starting saying no to the events and things that were draining me and started investing time into doing things that brought myself joy. *
*
Decisions made for yourself is never selfish when you feel it’s going to benefit you. You do what you need to do to make yourself better, you’ll thank yourself later. *
*
A couple of things that I did to invest in myself: *
*
⭕️ I still continue to read. ( reading and listening to YouTube on law of attraction changed my life ). *
*
⭕️ I worked hard and used my savings to invest in driving lessons. I now own a car 🚗
*
*
⭕️ I brainstormed the people/ things that were causing me more harm than good. Yeah I’ve lost ‘friends’ but getting rid of bad energy isn’t always a bad thing after all. *
